Chapter 600 The Dragon's Bride 8

As soon as the news that Long Yi decided to express his love to Xiaolian and marry her spread, the entire dragon clan was in an uproar.

In the magnificent Dragon Palace, the old Dragon King was furious and rebuked Long Yi, "As the future leader of the Dragon Clan, how can you be so absurd! You have an engagement with the Phoenix Clan princess, which is the key to the two clans' alliance and consolidation of power. How can you lose your composure because of a little palace maid!"

Long Yi held his head high, his eyes firm, and retorted: "Father, I have no feelings for the Phoenix Princess. Xiaolian is the only one in my heart."

The ministers also spoke up: "Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed! Xiaolian is of low status, how can she take on the position of the Dragon Clan's mistress?"

Long Yi was unmoved and said loudly: "I don't care about her identity, I just know that she would risk her life for me."

On the other hand, Xiaolian, who was under house arrest in the palace, was also worried. She knew very well that her identity had brought great trouble to Long Yi.

Amid the opposition from the entire clan, Long Yi came to Xiaolian regardless of everything and held her hand tightly.

"Xiao Lian, don't be afraid, I will never let you down." Long Yi said affectionately.

Xiaolian had tears in her eyes: "Sir, I don't want you to become an enemy of the whole clan because of me."

Long Yi stroked her cheek gently: "Even if I have to make the whole world my enemy, I will be with you."

However, the matter did not end there. The opposition within the Dragon Clan became more rampant, and some even secretly planned to harm Xiaolian again. Long Yi knew that if he could not completely resolve this matter, he and Xiaolian would never have peace.

After much deliberation, Long Yi decided to divorce Feng Yuexue, the princess of the Phoenix clan. He knew that this decision would cause great upheavals, but in order to stay with his beloved forever, he could not care less.

When he told the old Dragon King about this idea, the old Dragon King was furious and pointed at his nose and cursed: "You rebellious son, you are simply going to bring shame to my dragon clan! Once the news of the divorce is spread, my dragon clan and the phoenix clan will surely form a deep hatred. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Long Yi looked determined, and knelt down and said, "Father, I have made up my mind. I am unwilling to sacrifice my life's happiness for the so-called power marriage. I am willing to bear all the consequences, and I only ask for your approval."

The old Dragon King sighed, waved his hand helplessly, and stopped looking at him.

Long Yi turned around and left, preparing to go to the Phoenix Clan in person to discuss the divorce with Feng Yuexue. Along the way, he was full of thoughts and didn't know how to face Feng Yuexue.

Soon, Long Yi arrived at the Phoenix Clan. Feng Yuexue, who had already quietly returned to the Phoenix Clan, heard his purpose and smiled sadly: "Long Yi, you finally made this decision."

Long Yi looked at the veiled princess with guilt. Until now, Long Yi still didn't know what his wife looked like: "Princess, I am sorry for you. But my heart already belongs to someone, and I can no longer spend my life with you."

Feng Yuexue was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. I just hope you won't regret your decision today in the future."

The divorce caused a great uproar between the two tribes, and the Phoenix tribe was angry and blamed Long Yi. The opposition forces within the Dragon tribe took the opportunity to force Long Yi to give up.

Facing the pressure from the two tribes, Long Yi had no intention of backing down. He knew that his choice might lead him to an irretrievable fate, but for the sake of true love, he was willing to endure it all.

In the Phoenix Clan, although Feng Yuexue agreed to the divorce, her heart was inevitably filled with loss and sadness. Her brother Feng Yan was furious when he heard about this. He immediately led a group of Phoenix Clan masters to rush to the Dragon Clan to ask Long Yi for an explanation. On the Dragon Clan side, the opposition forces were also secretly gathering strength. They tried to take this opportunity to overthrow the old Dragon King and make Long Yi the target of public criticism. The old Dragon King was worried. On the one hand, he was worried about Long Yi's safety, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the relationship between the two clans would be completely broken.

Long Yi knew that his actions had caused a huge crisis, so he decided to stand up and face Feng Yan and others alone. At the border between the two tribes, Long Yi confronted Feng Yan and others.

Feng Yan glared at him and shouted, "Long Yi, you are such a heartless person, how dare you hurt my sister like this! I will make you pay the price today!"

Long Yi looked solemn and said, "This matter was caused by me. I am willing to bear all the consequences alone. But the divorce is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. I will do my best to make up for the harm done to the princess."

Feng Yan didn't want to hear that and immediately ordered everyone to start fighting. For a moment, magic lights intersected and the battle was fierce. Although Long Yi was very powerful, he gradually felt powerless in the face of the siege of many masters of the Phoenix Clan.

At this critical moment, the old dragon king arrived with the elite dragons. The old dragon king shouted, "Stop!" Then everyone stopped.

The old Dragon King looked at Feng Yan and said, "It is my Dragon Clan that has let down the Phoenix Clan, but Long Yi's decision is a fact. We are willing to show our sincerity and make up for the loss of the Phoenix Clan. We only ask that the two clans do not start a war over this."

Feng Yan snorted coldly: "Make up? How can I make up for the harm my sister has suffered?"

The old Dragon King sighed and said, "My Dragon Clan is willing to offer precious magic weapons and cultivation secrets, and at the same time open some unique secret realms for the Phoenix Clan to use. As long as we can calm this storm and let the two clans return to peace, all conditions can be negotiated."

Feng Yan's expression eased a little, but he was still angry: "Humph, let's not talk about these for now. Long Yi, you must give my sister an explanation today!"

Long Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I will never forget the princess's kindness to me. If the princess needs anything in the future, I will never refuse."

At this moment, Feng Yuexue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly appeared. She looked pale and had tears in her eyes: "Brother, please don't embarrass him anymore. This is the end of our fate, and we can't force it."

Feng Yan looked at his sister distressedly: "Xue'er, how could you let him go so easily?"

Feng Yuexue smiled sadly: "Love has disappeared, so why add to the hatred. I just hope that the two tribes will be at peace from now on, and no more trouble will arise because of our affairs."

Seeing this, the old dragon king hurriedly said: "The princess is very righteous and admirable. My dragon clan will definitely remember the princess's tolerance."

The storm seemed to have subsided temporarily, but the rift between the two tribes had already arisen.

After returning to the Dragon Clan, the opposition forces took the opportunity to attack and accused Long Yi of bringing great crisis to the Dragon Clan. Long Yi was exhausted physically and mentally, but still faced all the accusations firmly.

In the Feng Clan, Feng Yuexue locked herself in her room after the divorce, crying all day long. Feng Yan saw it with his own eyes, felt pain in his heart, and his resentment towards Long Yi deepened.

Outside the two tribes, some forces with ulterior motives began to stir, attempting to take advantage of the conflict between the two tribes and profit from it.
